The fourth online auction of former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell’s personal possessions is up and running. It began Tuesday.
The auction features items from about 200 lots that did not sell in a previous auction, according to Sauk Valley Media. Offerings include leather jackets, sweatshirts, a fur vest, jeans, and a fur coat. The U.S. Marshals Service Asset Forfeiture Division lowered opening bids on the items this go-round in an attempt to attract more buyers.
Crundwell is serving a nearly 20-year sentence in federal prison for stealing close to $54 million over two decades from the City of Dixon. She used the money to finance an award-winning show horse operation and a lavish lifestyle.
The auction ends March 8.
